Jambojet has announced entry into charter services as part of the airline’s services. The move is expected to address emerging consumer needs and boost its revenue stream.
The regional low-cost carrier’s acting Managing Director Karanja Ndegwa said the move is part of the airline’s strategy to diversify its product offering to supplement the scheduled operations.

“Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen a shift in consumer needs. Consumers now, more than ever, want privacy, convenience, and their safety and well-being assured,” Ndegwa saido.
“As an airline, we pride ourselves in being customer-centric, thus the introduction of this non-scheduled service,” he added.
The move will see Jambojet target business people, families, groups that may be attending social events such as weddings, corporate, missions, and humanitarian bodies with operations outside of major towns to take up the charter operations.
The charter can accommodate up to 78 passengers per flight depending on each route.
Head of Sales and Marketing Titus Oboogi noted that the airline is also considering the requirements needed to fly into Kigali and Entebbe.
“We are monitoring the demand, and also considering the requirements needed to fly into Kigali and Entebbe. We shall communicate once we have a date,” said Oboogi.
Since its inception in 2014, Jambojet has been a scheduled service operator, serving the domestic market, and expanded to Uganda and Rwanda in February 2017 and November 2019, respectively.
